Labs & Active Workbench · 22 Projects
In-progress products, AI workflows, game engines, and proof-of-concepts built to test hypotheses and learn through building.
A WarGames-style NORAD terminal, rebuilt from scratch — talk to WOPR, play tic-tac-toe, checkers or hangman, or trigger Global Thermonuclear War. No framework, no backend, no live AI.
A zero-money swap shop for club sports gear — donate what you don't need, reserve what you do, collect it. Multi-tenant from day one, built for any number of clubs on one shared platform.
The internal framework every other project here is built with — a small, growing kit of reusable skills and code accelerators, earned from real project pain instead of written in advance.
A stroke-allocation tool for club matchplay golf — paused deliberately before release, once it became clear the club itself needed to be in the loop first.
A small, private, Cloudflare-native learning and note-taking workspace — capture, organise, and study in one place.
A personal web portal revisiting a website idea from the 1990s — four themes, a frames-era shell, and an honest line between what's real and what's decorative.
Bubbly sticky notes that live at the edge of your macOS screen — no dock icon, no window, slide to the edge and the deck fans out.
A light-mode household expense and subscription tracker — one place to see every recurring charge, renewal date, and budget-saving switch, synced across every device in the house.
A recruitment intelligence platform for AI, security, and governance roles — direct ATS job feeds, a fit-scoring engine, and an AI application copilot, built with EU AI Act and GDPR compliance in mind from day one.
A family's shared mission control — one calendar, a sticky-note board, and optional modules for sports, school, life admin, and bills — behind a single household login with individual member profiles.
A comprehensive tactical guild platform for Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes — real-time Territory War battlefield coordination, squad counter intelligence, and guild roster analytics.
An independent vinyl record store catalog and discography platform — high-contrast editorial design with audio previews and collection archiving.
A private, local-first digital deskpad for Windows — one always-ready surface for typed notes, checklists, pen input, and dropped files, with no account, no cloud, and no internet connection required.
Live audience intelligence for discovery workshops — anonymous room signal, AI-surfaced themes and tensions, and a one-click decision brief, built as a Slido-style tool for facilitators rather than marketers.
A private household cooking, cookbook, and meal-planning companion — keeping recipes, meal plans, and kitchen health notes in one place instead of scattered across bookmarks and screenshots.
A reusable fundraising competition platform — entrants pick a team each round, wrong picks are out, and the last entrant standing wins — built for community clubs running "Last Man Standing" fundraisers.
A personal Ireland-only media guide — live TV, streaming availability, and a tracker for shows, films, and teams you follow.
A quiet, native macOS writing desk for drafting and revising a novel — a continuous manuscript view, chapter structure, and planning tools kept out of the way until they're wanted.
Household jobs, shared simply — a small app for keeping family chores visible, fairly divided, and actually done.
AI-powered document capture that turns family paperwork into actionable intelligence — upload anything, no filing decisions required, and let AI extract dates, amounts, and renewal alerts automatically.
A 5km side-scrolling running game built with no engine and no framework — just canvas, vanilla JavaScript, and an unreasonable attention to mobile input.
A standalone workspace for crafting and previewing AI workflows in real time — the power-user tool that grew out of Astra.
